At this time, Elaine heaved a huge sigh of relief before she patted her chest and said, "It’s a blessing! It's really a blessing today! I was almost destroyed by Justin today...” 6
Claire looked at her before she said helplessly, "Mom, can you have a conscience whenever you do anything i n the future? Can you not be so materialistic and foolish? I don't know what we would have done earlier. If not for Charlie, we’d both be dead today!" 1
Elaine knew that she was wrong but she said in a reluctant manner, "What's the matter? I'm also a victim in this matter! Besides, this incident only happened because of Charlie! Everything started from Charlie! If he did not provoke Jason in the first place, then we wouldn't have encountered this kind of danger at all. This is all Charlie’s fault!" 9
Claire was really angry at this time and she yelled," You're really unbelievable!" i
After that, Claire pushed the door open and she got out of the car before heading into the house immediately.
When Elaine saw Claire running into the house in a hurry, she hurriedly opened the car door before she chased after her.
Charlie also hurriedly followed behind without saying anything.
After getting into the house, Charlie realized that his father-in-law was not at home. Therefore, Elaine said t o Claire, "Claire, please make sure not to tell your
father what happened today, okay? Do you hear me?" 5
At this time, Claire asked her, "Why? Didn't you say that you weren't in the wrong? Do you have a guilty conscience?"
Elaine retorted at this time, "Why would I have a guilty conscience? I just don’t want your dad to be worried! We’re both fine now, so what is the point of telling him about this matter and making him angry and worried for no reason at all?"
Claire replied, "If you still refuse to admit your mistake in this matter, then I'll definitely tell Dad about this matter so he can judge who’s right and who’s wrong!”
